The Austin Police Department is reminding residents to adhere to the even/odd parking rule in the event of a snow emergency.

According to Austin Police Chief Brian Krueger, in the event of heavy snow, residents parking on the street must park on the side of the street with even house numbers on even dates and odd house numbers on odd dates. Each period runs for 24 hours, starting at 8 a.m. one day and ending at 8 a.m. the next day.

Krueger also said there is a 12-hour parking ordinance in effect on public streets during snow emergencies. Anyone who parks in the same spot for more than 12 hours could get their vehicle towed.
